Their ability to think of the possibilities and to reason more abstractly may explain the further differentiation of the self during adolescence . However , the teens understanding of self is often full of contradictions . Young teens may see themselves as outgoing but 786 Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence

also withdrawn , happy yet often moody , and both smart and completely clueless ( 2012 ) These contradictions , along with the teens growing recognition that their personality and behavior seem to change depending on who they are with or where they are , can lead the young teen to feel like a fraud . With their parents they may seem angrier and sullen , with their friends they are more outgoing and , and at work they are quiet and cautious . Which one is really me ?

may be the refrain of the young teenager . 2012 ) found that adolescents emphasize traits such as being friendly and considerate more than do children , highlighting their increasing concern about how others may see them . also found that older teens add values and moral standards to their descriptions . As differentiates , so too does . In addition to the academic , social , appearance , and dimensions of in middle and late childhood , teens also add perceptions of their competency in romantic relationships , on the job , and in close friendships ( 2006 ) often drops when children transition from one school setting to another , such as shifting from elementary to middle school , or junior high to high school ( Ryan , Shim , 2013 ) These drops are usually temporary , unless there are additional stressors such as parental conflict , or other family disruptions ( De Wit , Rye , 2011 ) rises from mid to late adolescence for most teenagers , especially if they feel competent in their peer relationships , their appearance , and athletic abilities ( Wold , 2012 ) Identity Role Confusion believed that the primary psychosocial task of adolescence was establishing an identity . Teens struggle with the question Who am I ?

This includes questions regarding their appearance , Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence 787 vocational choices and career aspirations , education , relationships , sexuality , political and social views , personality , and interests . saw this as a period of confusion and experimentation regarding identity and ones life path . During adolescence we experience psychological moratorium , where teens put on hold commitment to an identity while exploring the options . The culmination of this exploration is a more coherent view of oneself . Those who are unsuccessful at resolving this stage may either withdraw further into social isolation or become lost in the crowd . However , more recent research , suggests that few leave this age period with identity achievement , and that most identity formation occurs during young adulthood ( Cote , 2006 ) Expanding on theory , James Marcia ( 2010 ) identified four identity statuses that represent the four possible combinations of the dimension of commitment and exploration ( see Table ) Table TAN Fun Malian The least mature status , and one common in many children , is identity diffusion . Identity diffusion is a status that characterizes those who have neither explored the options , nor made a commitment to an identity . Those who persist in this identity may drift aimlessly with little connection to those around them or have little sense of purpose in life . Those in identity foreclosure have made a commitment to an identity without having explored the options . Some parents may make these decisions for their children and do not grant the teen the opportunity to make choices . In other instances , teens may 788 Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence

strongly identify with parents and others in their life and wish to follow in their footsteps . Identity moratorium is a status that describes those who are activity exploring in an attempt to establish an identity but have yet to have made any commitment . This can be an anxious and emotionally tense time period as the adolescent experiments with different roles and explores various beliefs . Nothing is certain and there are many questions , but few answers . Identity achievement refers to those who after exploration have made a commitment . This is a long process and is not often achieved by the end of adolescence . During high school and the college years , teens and young adults move from identity diffusion and foreclosure toward moratorium and achievement . The biggest gains in the development of identity are in college , as college students are exposed to a greater variety of career choices , lifestyles , and beliefs . This is likely to spur on questions regarding identity . A great deal of the identity work we do in adolescence and young adulthood is about values and goals , as we strive to articulate a personal vision or dream for what we hope to accomplish in the future ( 2013 ) Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence 789

Developmental psychologists have researched several different areas of identity development and some of the main areas include Religious identity The religious views of teens are often similar to that of their families ( Longo , 2012 ) Most teens may question specific customs , practices , or ideas in the faith of their parents , but few completely reject the religion of their families . Political identity The political ideology of teens is also influenced by their parents political beliefs . A new trend in the century is a decrease in party affiliation among adults . Many adults do not align themselves with either the democratic or republican party but view themselves as more of an independent . Their teenage children are often following suit or become more apolitical ( Cote , 2006 ) Vocational identity While adolescents in earlier generations 790 Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence

envisioned themselves as working in a particular job , and often worked as an apprentice or in such occupations as teenagers , this is rarely the case today . Vocational identity takes longer to develop , as most of today occupations require specific skills and knowledge that will require additional education or are acquired on the job itself . In addition , many of the jobs held by teens are not in occupations that most teens will seek as adults . Gender identity Acquiring a gender identity is becoming an increasingly prolonged task as attitudes and norms regarding gender keep changing . The roles appropriate for males and females are evolving , and the lack of a gender binary allow adolescents more freedom to explore various aspects of gender . Some teens may foreclose on a gender identity as a way of dealing with this uncertainty , and they may adopt more stereotypic male or female roles ( Sinclair , 2013 ) Sexual identity According to Carroll ( 2016 ) by age 14 most adolescents become interested in intimate relationships , and they may begin sexual experimentation . Many adolescent feel pressure to express interest in relationships , even if they are not ready to do so . This pressure can be especially stressful for those adolescents who are gay , lesbian , bisexual or questioning their sexual identity . Many adolescents struggle with negative peer and family reactions during their exploration . A lack of parental acceptance , especially , can adversely affect the gay , lesbian or bisexual adolescent emerging sexual identity and can result in feelings of depression . In contrast , adolescents whose support their sexual identity have better health outcomes . Ethnic identity refers to how people come to terms with who they are based on their ethnic or racial ancestry . The task of ethnic identity formation involves sorting out and resolving positive and negative feelings and attitudes about one own ethnic group and about other groups and identifying one place in relation to both ( 2006 , 119 ) When groups differ in status in a culture , those from the group have to be cognizant of the customs and values of those from the dominant culture . The reverse Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence 791

is rarely the case . This makes ethnic identity far less salient for members of the dominant culture . In the United States , those of European ancestry engage in less exploration of ethnic identity , than do those of ancestry ( 1989 ) However , according to the US . Census ( 2012 ) more than 40 of Americans under the age of 18 are from ethnic minorities . For many ethnic minority teens , discovering one ethnic identity is an important part of identity formation . Figure model of ethnic identity formation is based on and Marcia model of identity formation ( 1990 Syed , 2014 ) Through the process of exploration and commitment , individual come to understand and create an ethic identity . suggests three stages or statuses with regard to ethnic identity . Unexamined Ethnic Identity Adolescents and adults who have not been exposed to ethnic identity issues may be in the first stage , unexamined ethnic identity . This is often characterized with a preference for the dominant culture , or where the individual has given little thought to the question of their ethnic heritage . This is similar to diffusion in Marcia model of identity . Included in this group are also those who have 792 Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence

adopted the ethnicity of their parents and other family members with little thought about the issues themselves , similar to Marcia foreclosure status ( 1990 ) Ethnic Identity Search Adolescents and adults who are exploring the customs , culture , and history of their ethnic group are in the ethnic identity search stage , similar to Marcia moratorium status ( 1990 ) Often some event awakens a teen or adult to their ethnic group either a personal experience with prejudice , a highly profiled case in the media , or even a more positive event that recognizes the contribution of someone from the individuals ethnic group . Teens and adults in this stage will immerse themselves in their ethnic culture . For some , it may lead to a rejection of the values of the dominant culture ( 1990 , 503 ) Achieved Ethnic Identity Those who have actively explored their culture are likely to have a deeper appreciation and understanding of their ethnic heritage , leading to progress toward an achieved ethnic identity ( 1990 ) An achieved ethnic identity does not necessarily imply that the individual is highly involved in the customs and values of their ethnic culture . One can be confident in their ethnic identity without wanting to maintain the language or other customs . The development of ethnic identity takes time , with about 25 of tenth graders from ethnic minority backgrounds having explored and resolved the issues ( 1989 ) The more ethnically homogeneous the high school , the less identity exploration and achievement ( 2003 ) Moreover , even in more ethnically diverse high schools , teens tend to spend more time with their own group , reducing exposure to other ethnicities . This may explain why , for many , college becomes the time of ethnic identity exploration . The transition to college may serve as a experience that triggers exploration ( Syed , 2009 , 618 ) It is also important to note that those who do achieve ethnic Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence 793

identity may periodically reexamine the issues of ethnicity . This cycling between exploration and achievement is common not only for ethnic identity formation , but in other aspects of identity development ( 1987 ) and is referred to as MAMA cycling or moving back and forth between moratorium and achievement . Identity Ethnic minorities must wrestle with the question of how , and to what extent , they will identify with the culture of the surrounding society and with the culture of their family . 2006 ) suggests that people may handle it in different ways . Some may keep the identities separate , others may combine them in some way , while others may reject some of them . identity means the individual sees himself or herself as part of both the ethnic minority group and the larger society . Those who are multiracial , that is whose parents come from two or more ethnic or racial groups , have a more challenging task . In some cases , their appearance may be ambiguous . This can lead to others constantly asking them to categorize themselves . 2006 ) notes that the process of identity formation may start earlier and take longer to accomplish in those who are not . Negative Identity A negative identity is the adoption of norms and values that are the opposite of ones family and culture , and it is assumed to be one of the more problematic outcomes of identity development in young people ( 2019 ) Those with a negative identity hold dichotomous beliefs , and consequently divide the world into two categories ( friend or foe , good or bad ) et al . suggest that this may be because teens with a negative identity can not integrate information and beliefs that exist in both their inner and outer worlds . In addition , those with a negative identity are generally hostile and cynical toward society , often because they do not trust the world around them . These beliefs may lead teens to engage in delinquent and criminal behavior and prevent them from engaging in more positive acts that could be beneficial to society . 794 Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence

Parents and Teens Autonomy and Attachment While most adolescents get along with their parents , they do spend less time with them ( 2011 ) This decrease in the time spent with families may be a reflection of a teenagers greater desire for independence or autonomy . It can be difficult for many parents to deal with this desire for autonomy . However , it is likely adaptive for teenagers to increasingly distance themselves and establish relationships outside of their families in preparation for adulthood . This means that both parents and teenagers need to strike a balance between autonomy , while still maintaining close and supportive familial relationships . Children in middle and late childhood are increasingly granted greater freedom regarding decision making . This continues in adolescence , as teens are demanding greater control in decisions that affect their daily lives . This can increase conflict between parents and their teenagers . For many adolescents , this conflict centers on chores , homework , curfew , dating , and personal appearance . These are all things many teens believe they should manage that parents previously had considerable control over . Teens report more conflict with their mothers , as many mothers believe they should still have some control over many of these areas , yet often report their mothers to be more encouraging and supportive ( 2007 ) As teens grow older , more compromise is reached between parents and teenagers ( 2011 ) Parents are more controlling of daughters , especially early maturing girls , than they are sons ( Silva , 1993 ) In addition , culture and ethnicity also play a role in how restrictive parents are with the daily lives of their children ( Chen , Van , 2013 ) Having supportive , less conflict ridden relationships with parents also benefits teenagers . Research on attachment in adolescence find that teens who are still securely attached to their parents have Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence 795

less emotional problems ( 2015 ) are less likely to engage in drug abuse and other criminal behaviors ( 2004 ) and have more positive peer relationships ( 2009 ) Peers As children become adolescents , they usually begin spending more time with their peers and less time with their families , and these peer interactions are increasingly unsupervised by adults . notions of friendship often focus on shared activities , whereas adolescents notions of friendship increasingly focus on intimate exchanges of thoughts and feelings . During adolescence , peer groups evolve from primarily to . Adolescents within a peer group tend to be similar to one another in behavior and attitudes , which has been explained as a function of , that is , adolescents who are similar to one another choose to spend time together in a birds of a feather flock together way . Adolescents who spend time together also shape each others and attitudes . in mum 796 Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence

Peers can serve both positive and negative functions during adolescence . Negative peer pressure can lead adolescents to make riskier decisions or engage in more problematic behavior than they would alone or in the presence of their family . For example , adolescents are much more likely to drink alcohol , use drugs , and commit crimes when they are with their friends than when they are alone or with their family . One of the most widely studied aspects of adolescent peer influence is known as deviant peer contagion ( 2011 ) which is the process by which peers reinforce problem behavior by laughing or showing other signs of approval that then increase the likelihood of future problem behavior . However , peers also serve as an important source of social support and companionship during adolescence , and adolescents with positive peer relationships are happier and better adjusted than those who are socially isolated or have peer relationships . Crowds are an emerging level of peer relationships in adolescence . In contrast to friendships , which are reciprocal dyadic relationships , and cliques , which refer to groups of individuals who interact frequently , crowds are characterized more by shared reputations or images than actual interactions ( Brown Larson , 2009 ) These crowds reflect different prototypic identities , such as jocks or brains , and are often linked with adolescents social status and peers perceptions of their values or behaviors . Romantic Relationships Adolescence is the developmental period during which romantic relationships typically first emerge . By the end of adolescence , most American teens have had at least one romantic relationship ( 2011 ) However , culture does play a role as Asian Americans and are less likely to date than other ethnic groups ( Connolly , Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence 797

Craig , Goldberg , 2004 ) Dating serves many purposes for teens , including having fun , companionship , status , socialization , sexual experimentation , intimacy , and partner selection for those in late adolescence ( 2011 ) There are several stages in the dating process beginning with engaging in group activities in early adolescence ( 2011 ) The peer groups that were common during childhood expand into peer groups that are more characteristic of adolescence . Romantic relationships often form in the context of these peer groups ( Connolly , 2000 ) Interacting in groups is easier for teens as they are among a supportive group of friends , can observe others interacting , and are kept safe from a too early intimate relationship . By middle adolescence , teens are engaging in brief , casual dating or in group dating with established couples ( 2011 ) Then in late adolescence dating involves exclusive , intense relationships . These relationships tend to be and continue for a year or longer , however , they may also interfere with friendships . Although romantic relationships during adolescence are often rather than committed partnerships , their importance should not be minimized . Adolescents spend a great deal of time focused on romantic relationships , and their positive and negative emotions are more tied to romantic relationships , or lack thereof than to friendships , family relationships , or school ( 2003 ) Romantic relationships contribute to adolescents identity formation , changes in family and peer relationships , and emotional and behavioral adjustment . 798 Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence

Furthermore , romantic relationships are centrally connected to adolescents emerging sexuality . Parents , and researchers have devoted a great deal of attention to adolescents sexuality , in large part because of concerns related to sexual intercourse , contraception , and preventing teen pregnancies . However , sexuality involves more than this narrow focus . For example , adolescence is often when individuals who are lesbian , gay , bisexual , or transgender come to perceive themselves as such ( Russell , Clarke , Clary , 2009 ) Thus , romantic relationships are a domain in which adolescents experiment with new behaviors and identities . However , a negative dating relationship can adversely affect an adolescent development . 2014 ) explored the link between relationship inauthenticity and mental health . Relationship inauthenticity refers to an incongruence between feelings and actions within a relationship . Desires to gain partner approval and demands in the relationship may negatively affect an adolescent sense of authenticity . found that relationship inauthenticity was positively correlated with poor mental health , Chapter 21 Psychosocial Development in Adolescence 799
